Nokia 5800i XM just passed through FCC, and all the documents show pretty much the same handset, with similar specs and looks as the original 5800. Except for the Wi-Fi connectivity, which is lacking in Nokia 5800i.

Nokia 5800i update looks rather strange for me. Former Nokia handset upgrades with the “i” index usually improved the specs and features of the device, while this one, with the removal of Wi-Fi antenna, seems to be a minor downgrade.

On the other hand, the importance of a price in this market segment seems to be pretty significant. And if Nokia wants to have a device closer to XM5530 in price, but still able to take full advantage of Nokia services that need GPS location, Nokia 5800i XM might be that handset.

Nokia N97 launch still ringing decrease in dimensions has meant some changes to the slide out QWERTY keyboard, most notably the omission of the four way navigational key on the left of the N97’s keyboard. In its place we can clearly see arrow keys that sit in the top right corner of the keyboard. On the reverse of the phone the N97 mini gets a nice slab of metal for a battery cover but unfortunately lacks the sliding lens cover for the camera which (and correct me if i’m

screen is visibly smaller (though not by that much) resulting in a phone that isn’t as wide as it’s bigger brother but that’s about all we can guess from the leaked photos. The appearance of these photos raises more questions than it answers. Why release a phone that is only marginally smaller than its bigger brother? Will Nokia strip out features similar to how they put the 5800 on a diet to create the 5530? Will the N97 Mini still run Symbian? And obviously the biggest question of all, it this phone genuine or an extremely professional fake? Well, for the time being at least, we can’t answer any of them. Keep an eye on the Blog over the coming weeks as we hold our breath for an official announcement from Nokia.

BlackBerry 8520 is now officially RIM’s first device to feature an optical trackpad veering away from the tradition trackball. Aside from that, it also features a 2.64-inch 320×240 display, 2-megapixel camera, WiFi, a “highly tactile full-QWERTY keypad”, 1GB microSD card in the box, and Mac compatibility which will surely delight Blackberry-using Mac-heads in the country. It will be available from T-Mobile beginning August 5th with black and frost colored iterations as your options. Price, however, is still yet to be known.

The question now is; are you sold on the BlackBerry Gemini already or are you still waiting for more info on the touchscreen-equipped BlackBerry Magnum to surface? The Gemini does look gorgeous, but due to the lack of any retail price, we’re willing to wait for more info regarding the Magnum to come out before finally deciding on which of the two to pick.

Modu has been developing a tiny handset to work with a range of different peripherals, depending on your needs. Multiple sleeves provide a couple of options for a more traditional phone, but car mount, bike and media centre sleeves will also be options. The especially cool teaser should give you a taste of what this device hopes to do for mobility.

As for the reviewers’ first impressions, they highlight that the core Modu product is extremely basic (no Wi-Fi or 3G), but the release of new jackets down the line will really determine how far the product goes; if other manufacturers don’t pump out their own sleeves, Modu will be stuck with “a very small brick that makes phone calls”. The lack of a real number pad, touch input, and obscenely tiny size make Modu impractical on its own, so getting at least one sleeve will be something of a necessity.The graphics are pretty dated, apparently, and the majority of the “express” sleeves aren’t what you’d call stylish.

Modu will be retailing for around $130 locally on Cellcom, which is refunded in full if you fill out a questionnaire - free ain’t bad for something so experimental. What do you guys think, would Modu fly in North America?

David Bowie On iPhone and iPod Touch application that enables users to remix the audio tracks from David Bowie’s ‘Space Oddity’ EP - which ties in with the 40th anniversary of its original release!

Consisting of four unique song versions, an EP purchase will also provide fans with eight additional multi-track audio files for even more material to edit into a custom remix. Users can either render a personalized remix using iKlax Creator software, available on Mac or PC, or while engaging with the iPhone or iPod Touch application, they can “shake” their device for a random stem selection.

Reviewing the various individual audio tracks, fans are enabled to remix the vocals, acoustic 12-string guitar, drums and bass, mellotron, organ and guitars, guitar solo, strings and other orchestration on both the iPod Touch, iPhone and desktop applications. In addition, users may select to deactivate the drum line or heighten the guitar for a personal touch on a pop music classic.

Originally released on July 11, 1969 to coincide with the Apollo 11 moon landings, “Space Oddity” was a cultural landmark for David Bowie as an artist. The song was featured by the BBC on its television coverage of the lunar landing and later won an Ivor Novello award. Major Tom, the song’s mysterious character, has become a recurrent theme throughout Bowie’s work and career, being revisited in the song “Ashes To Ashes.”

You can visit the “Space Oddity EP” site by following: www.davidbowie.com. The App you can find on the App Store - just type in ‘Remix David Bowie’ as a search string.

Nokia 6760 Slide QWERTY phone will be getting Europe in the Autumn known simply as the 6760 Slide when it is released and if the early word is correct, it will have a few feature tweaks too.

Nokia 6760 Slide QWERTY phone will be getting Europe in the Autumn with clever messaging phone, suited to those who live for their social networks and love sending SMS and email on the move. Connection to your Exchange server, most email services and online networks such as Twitter and Facebook plus Google Talk and Windows Live IM systems, provides the 6760 with more than enough appeal on the software side and although criticised for its unconventional looks, we like the fact the S60-powered device doesn’t conform.

Nokia 6760 Slide QWERTY phone will be getting Europe in the Autumn On the hardware side, the screen is a 2.4? QVGA item which works in both landscape and portrait, Assisted GPS is built in and on the rear of the phone you’ll find a 3.2 megapixel camera. If this information is correct, then it trumps the Surge’s 2 megapixel camera. Oddly, nothing is mentioned about 3G or Wi-Fi, however if Nokia want the 6760 to be taken seriously, we can’t see both of these being omitted.

Nokia 6760 Slide QWERTY phone will be getting Europe in the Autumn will be available in black, red and white, and we should hear a solid release date soon.

T-Mobile’s 2009 Android Time To Motorola Morrison picture. This time around we can make out 3 distinct hardware buttons which previously were unidentifiable due to the white background - now Android makes a lot more sense. The buttons are (1) back, (2) home and (3) call/menu/action/something. It’ll be interesting to see how that last button with the 4 boxes functions considering the needs for “Call” and “Menu” both need to be addressed, unless done somehow or somewhere else.

Also of interest is that this version of the Motorola Morrison is black and blue as opposed to previous pics we’ve seen that showed a white and blue model:

If Motorola were to offer black and white versions with different interior colors like pink, green, orange, etc… they could really have a hit on their hands with the teen market. Of course it all depends on who they’re targeting, what the price range is and whether or not the phone works well. Hopefully we’ll find out in late 2009 as this sucker is supposed to hit for the holidays!

As the first U.S. device to make use of WiMAX, the Mondi is sure to grab a lot of attention, despite being limited geographically - even then, we’re hearing that WiMAX will roll out to 10 major American cities by the end of the year. Odds are we’ll see more mobile devices in this vein taking advantage of WiMAX, while LTE will lure in more traditional handsets. Will had a look at the Mondi back at CTIA, and it was a pretty smooth device - a widget-enabled user interface has been painted on top of Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional and it comes with plenty of handy preloads, like Fring, Gypsii, Route 66 GPS navigation, and Opera 9.5. The specs aren’t anything to sneeze at, either:

* 4.3″ touchscreen, 800 X 480 resolution
* Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, WiMAX connectivity
* 4 GB on-board storage
* 3 megapixel camera
* HDMI video out

If this is your bag, the Mondi will cost you $349 on a 2-year Clearwire contract, $449 with no strings, and will be available at Best Buy.

Sony Ericsson Xperia (X5?) Android phone aka “Rachael” has got a big touchscreen display, and is built on Qualcomm QSD8250 Snapdragon platform. Snapdragon has some pretty amazing amazing specs – up to 1 GHz CPU, HD video decoding ,12mpx camera, GPS, broadcast TV and Wi-Fi support. Though it remains to be seen which of them make it into a new SE Android handset.

Sony Ericsson Android game confirmed by retailer Expansys now that they have a preorder page up. Code-named Rachael, and branded as the X3, Expansys offers a healthy spec sheet:

* 4″, 800 x 400 touchscreen
* 2G: 850/900/1800/1900 (Quad-Band)
* 3G: 900/2100 (Dual-Band); HSDPA (10Mbps), HSUPA (2Mbps)
* 8 megapixel camera with autofocus and 8 x digital zoom
o LED Flash
o Image Stabilization
o Smile Shutter
o Face Detection
o VGA Video Recording
* POP3, SMTP, IMAP4, MS Exchange e-mail
* miniUSB, 3.5mm AV connector
* Bluetooth (2.1), Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11g), AGPS

The Hero’s nice and all, but considering we heard the X3 is going to be packing a 1Ghz processor, it’ll be the monster Android handset for awhile, and combined with all of we’ve been seeing of the X2 lately, Sony Ericsson’s next couple of quarters look noticably brighter than their last one. We had seen what was supposedly the user interface Sony Ericsson was going to use for Rachael, but the video didn’t show the music player widget pictured above - who knows if it was fake or not, but we’ll be finding out soon enough.

HTC Click Coming with Android will be packing a 3.5mm headphone jack, has a 2.8″ screen, and an unidentified camera on the back. It’s easy to see the similarities with the Magic - in fact, replacing the trackball with a jog wheel is just about the only discernable difference so far. It’s hinted that this will be geared towards the lower-end of the spectrum, which makes sense since HTC’s efforts on the upper end are currently occupied by the Hero. It would be cool if they could bring the Sense UI down to the more inexpensive handsets, but I guess we’ll have to wait for some screenshots to know what’s going on with the HTC Click.

Sony Ericsson launch Android-powered cell phone with named Xperia 3. The phone has candy-bar shaped design and is equipped with a 4-inch full touch-sensitive LCD screen.

Features of the Xperia 3 phone include 3G connectivity (supporting 900 / 2100 HSDPA), Wi-Fi connectivity, aGPS, and MP3 music player. The most impressive feature of the phone is its 8-megapixel digital camera with autofocus, LED flash, face-detection, and smile-shot features.

Although the Xperia 3 phone is powered by Android, its interface will looks a little bit than regular Android phone, as the Xperia 3 will have Sony Ericsson’s 3D panel user interface. Price and availability of the phone is still unknown.

HTC a new smartphone" HTC Leo" which is likely to be some sort of a clamshell phone. It’s said that the phone will feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, an internal WVGA (480 x 800) display with 16:9 aspect ratio, an external QVGA display and supports Open GL 2.0. HTC is also rumored to release some other smartphones including Click (an Android-powered smartphone), Mega and Rome. Sadly, there’s no word on release date yet. (the picture above is just an old HTC Omni mockup)

new device might be similar to the HTC Omni. When it comes to the graphics capabilities of the device, the fact that there might be support for OpenGL 2.0 included in it also suggests a Snapdragon processor, it seems. HTC is also rumored to release the Click, Mega and Rome – these are probably just codenames. The Click is supposed to be an entry-level Android phone but we have no details regarding the phone.
